yes if this is massaged it can lead to thrombus detaching and causing a stroke and clots is a definite no no :) hope this helped
can you sleep in ted hoses
A TED hose, often referred to as an anti-embolism stocking, is a densely woven high compression non-gradient (compression distribution is the same from foot and ankle to the top of the hose) stocking that comes in both closed and open-toe (open-toe allows for checking the patients pulse) that is thigh-high in length and is typically administered to a post-surgical patient who is non-ambulatory (unable to get up and move around). TED hose is usually worn as a pair for a short duration (during recovery) to promote optimum blood flow for the prevention of chronic swelling, blood clots or deep venous thrombosis (DVT). A TED hose is also available in knee-thigh length that can be worn by non-patients, e.g., diabetics, who suffer with poor leg circulation. The acronym T.E.D. stands for Thrombo Embolic Deterrent. It is a trademark brand name owned by the Kendall Company.

TED hose are anti-embolism stockings designed to prevent blood clots, typically used in hospitals. Support hose, or compression stockings, provide graduated pressure to promote circulation and reduce swelling in the legs, commonly used for conditions like varicose veins or to prevent deep vein thrombosis during travel.
They are locally contraindicated if not severe and systemically contraindicated if they are severe.
TED hose are used to apply compression to the lower extremities to reduce swelling aka edema aka third spacing cause by poor VENOUS return circulation in the lower extremities. TED hose should be custom fit for the best results. TED Hose should never be allowed to roll down and create pressure behind the knee (popliteal space) or around the calf causing constriction instead of compression. This creates a 'rubber band effect" and can lead to the formation of blood clots or constrictive injury TED hose or any kind of compression should NEVER be used for people with ARTERIAL Insufficiency, or with Arterial Ulcers on the lower extremities.
Yes it is contraindicated
If you have pain in your calves, deep vein thrombosis may be a real threat. Calf massages can make it clearer whether or not DVT is the cause of your pain, and they may worsen any existing DVT. However, DVT is not caused by a calf massage.
If you have DVT, which is deep vein thrombosis, it can cause your blood pressure to be low.
Aspirin used as a prophylactic treatment for DVT condition; not used as a primary treatment.
